topic i personally do not think so and i get angry when people blame shootings on video games. if video games caused people to kill or shoot people then the entire population of the US would not be here as of today. A gun doesnt kill, u need a person to do that.
It wasn't the video games, the music or the tv, it was ignorant parents and hoplessness as a result of emotional and mental stress caused by bullying or just stress, suicide shooters are like cockroaches, they keep popping outta nowhere, for reasons that could've been avoided.
I think you would have to be mentally ill for a video game to effect you so badly that you actually feel like it is real life and it influences you to kill.
What so many people fail to realize is that things like these are not cases of people becoming violent in nature due to exposure to violent media, they are cases of people who are violent in nature being attracted to violent media.

There will soon be a story about a guy in overalls who stomps on giant mushrooms. Trust me.
"This just in, a recent school fireballing has claimed 45 lives. Witnesses say the shooter was a somewhat short moustached Italian dressed in red overalls, a white shirt, and a white cap with the letter M on it. After the shootout the fireballer fled to the library and fireballed himself

i totally agree. Parents are becoming more and more slack these days. Kids are getting out of control and are allowed to behave and do as they please. and of course the parents blame the behavior on the media especially highly interactive media such as video games

He was probably mad that Michael Vick is a horrible QB and that VT is overrated at football.

But seriously, it is really unfair that you are more concerned with videogames being blamed and scapegoated for this tragedy than the fact that 33 (yes even the killer) plus all the wounded people in Virginia. I mean, who cares what Thompson has to say? His word has as much value as Coulter or any of those other moronic Fox News pundits. Anyone who listens to him is pretty dumb because it is obvious he is trying to capture people's emotions right after a tragedy. It is the same ploy Sharpton and Jackson use, but they have a different group supproting them. Thompson tries to capture the support of a different group of people, but fails most of the time (thankfully).Â

the sad thing though is that many people will listen to him and are dumb enough to believe and be convinced that video games are to blame. They will unsuspectingly be convinced through means that will appeal to their emotions at this time which is sad b/c emotional reasoning is the dumbest and worst out of all types of reasoning.
How can you blame video games? Are movies and tv shows full of violence and shootings romanticized? Besides i think the fault of social retardation falls with the parents.

Videogames are more interactive than movies or tv shows.
